Can anyone give any insight as to which of these vid cards are better in terms of gaming? I want a d820 or m65 but want to be able to play all video games.
The cards are:
1) Nvidia Quadro NVS 120M 512mb w/Turbocache.
or
2) Nvidia Quadro FX 350M 512mb w/Turbocache Open GL.

I know there are better cards available, but please just between these 2.
Thx in advance for the advice,
Snes

From benchmarks I've seen they are pretty much the same,and would stand to reason as they are both Geforce 7400 based,with the 350m having the openGL optimisations enabled.
I just ordered a M65 actually and I don't use MCAD professionally anymore,only occasionally,I do far more game playing,the only reason I decided on the M65 was that for me the precisions have a better resale value than a latitude,and Dell couldn't tell me when I could get a XPS1210 or D620 with dedicated graphics and they gave me an 8% discount on the precision,otherwise I would have bought an 820 as its a few hundred cheaper but like I say I've never had a problem getting good money for my old precisions when it comes to sell which is important when you buy new laptops as often as I do.
I'm expecting a fair performance increase over my fill in D610,and am ecstatic over the return to nvidia drivers.
The one 3Dmark05 score for M65 that I saw on notebook review forums was 1920 out of the box with no tweaking.
If you are going to keep it for a few years,I would go with the D820.

At least in the US, the Quadro NVS 110M is now available for the D620! Woo-hoo!

If you have under 100 posts, your rep doesnt matter.

And the 120M is plenty powerful for most all games
